Comparison Between the Effects of 10 Repetition 2 Sets Footwork with 5 Repetition 4 Sets Footwork for Improving Trainees' Agility in Badminton Training

摘要

Aimed at comparing the effectiveness of footwork with 10 repetition 2 set and with 5 repetition 4 set footwork, this study was conducted in pretest-posttest control group design, involving 42 male badminton students enrolled in professional training program of Ganesha University of Education. Group 1 was given footwork with 10 repetitions 2 sets and group 2 was given footwork with 5 repetitions 4 sets. The increase of the agility between both the groups before and after the training was tested with the t-independent test with a significant score of α = 0.05. The average agility showed that both groups experienced an increased effect of (p<0.05), with the increase of group 1 higher then the increase of group 2. Thus, the footwork with 10 repetitions 2 sets was proven to be more effective in improving the students' agility than the footwork with 5 repetitions 4 sets.
